kd lang

I saw kd lang on tv the other night. I am not much one for singers. I like her and I can appreciate her talent. I wish she had sung one of her hits. I never go to music concerts but I would be so disappointed if a mega star like kd did not perform a major hit.

She doesn't seem to take herself too seriously, but then she is in a position that she can afford to do that.

The relentless promotion on radio of kd performing in the Iwaki auditorium at ABC Melbourne, Southbank was really getting on my nerves.

I don't know when the last time I saw her perform on tv, but it must be a long time ago. kd has changed quite a bit and is now, shall I kindly put it, not skinny.

Our friend in Japan is a kd lang fan. She is in Spain now, so of course she can't read my blog. Once I made a recorded cd of kd for our friend. It was in the late nineties and tech things weren't so clever then. I expect with great excitement she set the cd up to play..........and it didn't. A failed recording. A shiny silver drink coaster was my gift to her.

LOL @ James' comment :)I viewed kd lang singing on the morning show the other day. I, too, was surprised to see her weight has shot up. Then again, I cannot speak .. my weight goes up then down too. What surprised me more was the fact that she wore a suit.. but no shoes! I guess it is what makes her comfortable?

As a side note, my kids make cds/dvds that no longer play into shiny fish mobiles :)

My public diary, not my private one. I live in a highrise apartment building in inner Melbourne. My interests are varied but top of the list are old buildings, history and public transport. You will find plenty of personal experiences to read in my blog too. Just be aware I am not an historian, amateur or otherwise. While I make some effort to be accurate, I don't do proper methodical research so I advise you check all details on your own behalf should you wish to quote me.
